TOP 5 Reasons to choose Joomla CMS!

Are you having an old fashioned html-coded website? Are you getting tired of asking your web-developer to make changes for your website instead of being able to make the changes yourself? Is your web-developer telling you he is busy and it will take some time for them to add the changed? And especially, are you tired of paying the bills after your web-developer has done the changes? Or are you perhaps just considering opening new website to the internet? If you say YES to any of these questions then this is for you!

Why not choose html-coded website?

The difference of old fashioned html-coded website and Content Management System (CSM) is the possibility to edit and add Internet website content without knowing html-code. While there are still those supporting making your Internet website from scratch it is definitely outdated way of doing Internet website! Why? It takes more time and money to code everything by yourself (or by web-developer). And time and money is what most of us do not have excess. Also using html-coded website means you are dependent on the web-developer or someone with ability to edit html-code. But what are you options?

Why choose Joomla Content Management System?

1) Save money by choosing Joomla

By using Joomla CMS you can save many ways. You can either choose one of the thousands, fancy and professional, ready-made Joomla Templates and save in web-site layout design costs. One professional template is about 50€ when website layout design can cost anything from 1000€ upwards (normally around 2000-2500€). If you want to have your own layout and still use Content Management System it can be done by using f.ex. Rockettheme Gantry Framework and adding your own website layout to Joomla. Coding a Joomla template instead of regular html-template will give you savings at least in the maintaining costs.

You can save money by being able add content and do changes to your Internet website by yourself or by you employee. This means you do not have to employ web-developer each time you want to edit/add to your website. In a long run this brings huge savings in your company website costs!

You can save by not needing expensive programs, since Joomla has no License fees. Also most of the extensions are without License fees, so get functions without high expenses.

2) Save time by choosing Joomla

NO need to ask from your web-developer when THEY have time to make new changes to your website! You can edit and add content on your website yourself or have a team of website editors in the company. No need to wait for the web-developer to do the changes. Make the changes immediately by yourself or by any one of the website editors in the company.

Save time by adding content by simply writing text, not text and html-code!

3) Makes it possible to add/edit your website content without knowledge of html-code

Do you think you need an expensive html/css/php coding course to be able to edit your website? No need for that! You can edit Joomla website without any knowledge of computer codes! Adding a blog article to your website requires only that you know how to write text. Everyone knows how to write text! That is how simple adding a blog article to your Joomla website is.

5) Strong community gives Safety and regular security updates

Some consider Open Source programs to be unsafe – Joomla is definitely not! Joomla has a community of over 200 000 users. This means over 200 000 testers for each Joomla version. Possible loopholes and problems are detected fast. Due to many web-developers taking part in the Joomla develpment the security updates are received regularly and without a delay. What other CMS can brag having over 200 000 test-users?

By keeping your website up-to-date you can make sure your website is more safe! With extensions like Joomla Update Manager you can install new Joomla versions with a click of a mouse! It’s that easy to update your Joomla version. Make sure your extensions are up-to-date too!

Why not some other CMS system?

But hey, can’t I use WordPress or Drupal? Sure you can, but remember that WordPress is a blog-system, not really a website system. It has much less funtions and addons available. What comes to Drupal, you need to be a website developer with knowledge of css/html-codes to be able to use Drupal effectively. So Joomla is definitely the most flexible and still easy to use Content Management system. It is not just a blogging system, but an actual website Content Management System.
